Our second full day in Quito started off with breakfast in an outdoor cafe. We were seated moments before the place filled with folks to watch Argentina y Germany. We were the only ones to leave our table before the end of the game (obviously no one else had anything better to do on a Saturday morning).
Headed to El Panacello (pictures) for great views of the city from the giant virgin on the hill.
This town has been great to walk around and when it gets too far on foot, there is always a taxi nearby who remain pleasant while we butcher their language. Heard the bad news for Argentina from our cab driver after El Panacello. Caught the Paraguay Spain match during lunch with a beer and again left the cafe before the end of that game to empty streets while everyone was huddled in any bar, restaurant, market with a TV. This town loves football!
We miss you already!
